PanARMENIAN.Net - The oppositional Armenian National Congress rally at Liberty Square finished.

As the first Armenian President Levon Ter-Petrossian stated during the rally, the authorities have to fulfill 3 conditions to continue a dialogue with the opposition: immediate liberation of opposition supporters, permission to hold rallies at Liberty Square, discovery of March 1 crimes.

Commenting on reports suggesting the authorities made a deal with the ANC or the society, Ter-Petrossian noted, “even if it’s a deal, it’s is a noble one, being an agreement between the authorities and the society.”

“All 3 Yerevan Mayors, Yervand Zakharyan, Gagik Beglaryan and Karen Karapetyan (current Mayor) will be held responsible for forbidding rallies at the Liberty Square,” he stressed.

Next opposition rally was scheduled for April 8.
